You may not be interested in Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is interested in you.

Both Google and Apple Maps are dreadful. Google especially far worse than it used to be for simply finding local businesses on a certain street for area, for example. Clearly it’s been commercialised to the utmost degree - I assume businesses need to pay for reach - and now essentially useless for a clear picture of what’s on a street. Has anyone ever had a go at open sourcing map provision like this? Surely a powerful concept if the incentives are aligned right to prevent abuse and draw in collaboration from users. #asknostr #maps

I have now deleted my Twitter account, and my medium account. All articles have been transferred to Nostr. I'm also done submitting with Bitcoin magazine for fairly obvious reasons. Trying to channel my inner @Jeff Booth here- vote for and build the world you want to see in your actions. Nostr has incredible potential. Within the very definition of that potential there is no free lunch. Expect to pay for relays to host content, for clients to deliver it to you, and zap for posts or content you want to see. It should incentivise others to host, deliver or create content. I need to do more of this, but as a start any zaps to my articles on Nostr have been set up to send half to the relays that host them. Elon Musk continues to head down the wrong path in many of his actions to monetise Twitter. It is fairly clear that much of what @ODELL predicted is coming true. By layering in identity verification, he is seeking to extract ever more value from users information. Nostr needs to benefit from what Taleb referred to as the intolerant minority - in this case those who vote with their feet and refuse to engage with the walled gardens of Facebook and X, etc - and instead bring their time, money and attention to Nostr. #nostr #deletetwitter

 To be honest with retrospect the whole maximalist term was invented by Vitalik Buterin and is not particularly useful - you either think Bitcoin’s digital scarcity is meaningful or you don’t, and you either own Bitcoin or you don’t.

 #microstrategy #mstr #bitcoin I don’t expect zaps - but if anyone does, all my articles are set up to send half of any zaps to the relays hosting them.

Stupid question, but how do Nostr specific urls work? For example from Habla news - View article → Is there a way to post them that shows more than simply the text? #asknostr

This was an excellent panel - with @preston @Max @Lyn Alden @allen - well worth a watch. A couple of separate but interlinked points made in this. First - is Bitcoin a cheatcode? No, strictly speaking - it's just money as it should be with a fair set of rules, but might just feel like that if you're early in its adoption phase. Secondly - the concept that holding Bitcoin in its purest form is actually high time preference, not low. Reason being - you are holding it to be immediately accessible, rather than investing it into projects requiring capital with an expectation of greater returns than you put in over time. My view is the reason this feels unintuitive is linked to (1) - it's an observation best framed in a wholly bitcoin denominated world. The hurdle rate (in bitcoin terms) is incredibly high during bitcoin's adoption phase. Imagine a simple project like building a house with materials and then selling it, and trying to make money in bitcoin terms. Which is why only bitcoin related projects stand much of a chance as an opportunity cost for simple holding bitcoin. Bitcoin only VC's have a tough (but noble..) pursuit.

For a few years now I've published articles in Bitcoin Magazine. Let's be charitable and call some of my content learning in public! For a long time they did retain a pleb culture with their submissions, which does deserve some credit. Now though, it feels like time to move on. @Matthew Kratter has spoken at length on this recently, and he rarely misses. I'm also going to ditch Medium entirely and post previous content to Nostr and habla.news, sharing half of any zaps with relays. Here is a link to my first transfer - a look at the book "How to Be Idle" and how it embodies many of the same principles as Bitcoin. References to @Jeff Booth @preston #dominicfrisby View article →
